46211-L-K 5mm x 2-1/2" Down-Cut Spektra Extreme Tool Life Coated Spiral Plunge Bit, 2-Flute, 1/4" Shank

Spiral-flute bits combine a shearing action in cutting with an augering action in chip clearance. The shearing action yields an especially clean accurate cut while the augering action clears chips from the cut.

The 'Down-Cut' cuts from the surface down leaving a smooth edge at the surface.

Amana Tool solid carbide router bits provide consistent, repeatable quality. Every tool is guaranteed to match the geometry on the prints, every time on every order. Best control of carbide grades for woodworking, and absolute control of quality standards on all carbide blanks. Special unique carbide grade increased clearance geometry and razor-sharp cutting edges with polished flutes provide a superior finish and longer tool life especially in abrasive materials. Great for production settings and excellent for creating grooves and dado cuts in particleboard plywood and laminate. Primarily used on CNC machines and other automatic routers. Can be used with handheld and table-mounted portable routers.

Our Spektra bits feature a nACo nanocomposite coating with an extreme nanohardness and heat resistance. With a brilliant distinctively-tinted coloring nACo provides additional improvements in four critical aspects of router tooling.

Excellent for Cutting:
• Cork
• Laminate
• Melamine
• Melamine Particle Board
• MDF
• Veneered Plywood
• Wood

Features:
• nACo coating is a micro-thin ceramic coating which enables the tool's cutting edge to retain crucial sharpness and lubricity. This provides longevity and produces cutting results of the highest quality
• Coating prevents high heat and oxidation which is detrimental to cutting tool performance
• Multi-colored hues, while attractive, will dissipate upon use and yet coating will remain fully effective
• nACo offers approximately 4,500 Vickers for impressive solid hardness on cutting areas of the tool, for an increase up to 2.5 times compared to uncoated bits
• Note: Blue based color dissipates immediately upon use. nACo nanocomposite coating will not wear off
• Note: 46211-L-K is specifically designed with a 5mm diameter to plunge shelf holes using a CNC machine. System 32 holes are a popular standard in cabinetry, this system refers to holes that placed at 32 mm intervals. System 32 holes are most commonly used for shelf pin holes
